For planning outreach

A day with Friends

This resource is for Quaker meetings interested in running events for enquirers and new attenders. It offers a simple framework for what the day might include, ideas for sessions and guidance on how to use the space you have.

A day with Friends [PDF] will help meetings run open and creative enquirers' events where everyone can share their stories and insights and explore the riches of the Quaker way together.

The resource is packed with ideas and inspiration and is available (free while stocks last) from the Quaker Centre Bookshop,
quakercentre@quaker.org.uk, 020 7663 1030.

Quaker Life Network members were asked to visit meetings and have conversations with Friends to help understand the story of the meeting.

Becoming Friends

Becoming Friends: Living and Learning with Quakers is an innovative learning project from Woodbrooke and Quaker Life which aims to nurture and support those who are new to Friends. It helps newcomers develop an understanding of Quakerism, while exploring their own journey. It uses flexible learning materials, on-line discussion groups and support from a network of 'companions' in local meetings.
